Hi, we made a research prototype to gather human thoughts, opinions, and perhaps emotions about a fully automated AI art gallery.

The computer generated images in a weird way by using random noise and mixing the prompt embeddings.

It results in a lot of broken or corrupted images but also some unique images.

The page contains some technical details and some opinions about generative AI art.

First feedback for you: It's an AI picture gallery.

Animals were believed to be unable to produce art by some.

Art lies in the eye of the beholder:)

Please consider adding keyboard shortcuts for thumbs up/down and pass. I do like looking at the generated art, but clicking like/dislike for each is bit tedious.

It’s an hidden feature but you should already be able to press Ctrl and 1,2,3.

I gave it a few reviews.

I'm not sure that exercise is going to be very productive, though. A lot of time my feedback was "looks cool, but the hands / faces" look weird; except when the art style was more abstract, or the subject was landscapes where the generation errors were less blatant.

I don't think that feedback gives the AI something actionable. An AI trained on this feedback won't learn "I need to draw faces and hands better" (and anyway, we already knew that these were the areas to improve), it's going to learn "humans like it better when I do abstract styles and landscapes".

One goal of the text field is to attach text that is not necessarily an image description or an image prompt but be more about thoughts and opinions.

You don’t have to give feedback to the AI, you can write whatever you feel.

It’s a bit explorative research. Perhaps the final dataset will be useful but it’s not a given.

I enjoyed this. I got to level 13 which was labeled as 'Advanced'. It was not just fun to review and provide feedback, but critiquing the art was also kind of relaxing. Felt like I could do it for hours. Some of the art was genuinely good.

My feedback: this is artificially generated art, and is meaningless. Why would I spend any amount of time or effort on this when there is art made with intent by humans?

mensetmanusman• 3 years ago

In the near future you may have little to no idea whether art was made by ai or not unless you see it happen in person. Maybe contemplating this future is necessary?

huimang8• 3 years ago

Contemplating authenticity (and ways that we can reasonably prove it) is a different discussion than wholesale generating ai "art" that has zero intent or meaning.

I personally spent many hours on one image starting with 3D printing armor, photographing it on my wife, and using that image as a base for ControlNet + Stable Diffusion to replace the armor, and then compositing it back in.

Some people just type in “pretty woman wearing armor.”

Where’s the line?

An Artist* utilizing different mediums & tools to achieve an intended vision is different than someone typing a few words on a whim and re-generating until the magic box outputs something roughly close to what they want. Using ML as part of an overall workflow is much more gray.

The line is where we draw it, and we have to draw it somewhere.

It's clear to anyone that typing prompts into a black box (that likely was trained on stolen art) and expending zero effort other than selecting from the randomly generated images is different than the process you described.

* simply writing prompts doesn't make anyone an artist

For fun.

You can also do the same thing with human art. There are most certainly local galleries near you, and you can interact with an actual human and the meaning they put into that art. Not to mention the amount of art made by humans that exists online.

I clicked "Browse the gallery" and expected to be able to browse the gallery, but was instead confronted with a kind of mobile chat window - not what I expected and not what I came for. I immediately left the site.

speedgoose4• 3 years ago

The chat style introduction is an attempt to have most people read about the context. If you wait a few seconds you can close it and browse the gallery. I know it wasn’t going to be popular on HN, it’s a trade off.

All it needs is for someone write a script to randomly like/dislike the images.

jareklupinski• 3 years ago

why not use the same skills to help the project instead of hinder it?

CrzyLngPwd2• 3 years ago

Showing it is vulnerable to such a simple garbage-in attack is helping it.

"AI art" is an oxymoron.

kelseyfrog• 3 years ago

We're doing RLHF, aren't we?

I'm about a 1:20 like to dislike ratio. Most of the dislikes are do to poor anatomy, ornamental text, overly smooth output(which weirdly people seem to like), unidentifiable objects.

Does it get more interesting?

FrostKiwi• 3 years ago

overly smooth output(which weirdly people seem to like)

A pet peeve of mine as well. The over-processed look is something I can't get behind. Especially recently on TikTok, users apply a very strong smoothing filter to film footage sometimes, like an denoise turned up to 11.

lofaszvanitt• 3 years ago

Current state of generated images resemble something that has zero human like attributes. Therefore it is REPULSIVE in every way. It's like telling people to copulate with slimy, gargling octopuses instead of real human females.

It won't work, because we are wired differently. I browse a lot of art and AI art too, and there are about 1-2 pictures among a 1000 that I say is good and has human made characteristics. Most of them are trash.

So we are a long way away from rearranging talent space and giving the talent of pro artists in the hands of average joes (or rather to the elite).
